Usher: 'Foster Friendship Has Blossomed Since Divorce'

The Yeah! hitmaker filed for divorce from stylist Foster last June (09), claiming the couple, which wed in 2007, had not lived together for over a year, despite welcoming second son Naviyd in December 2008.

Usher admits he and Foster have since put their failed marriage behind them and formed a friendship for the sake of their sons Naviyd and Usher Raymond V, two.

He tells Britain's Cosmopolitan magazine, "With my ex-wife, there was a lot of pressure in our relationship because of my career.

"Now that's alleviated we're friends and make smart decisions for our children."
